Bargarh/Bhubaneswar: Maintaining its winning streak, the ruling BJD on Thursday registered a thumping victory in Bijepur by-election.

Announcing the results after the 21st round of counting, the returning officer said that the BJD candidate Rita Sahu had won by a record margin of 97,994 votes against its nearest rival BJD candidate Sanat Gartia.
